2018 NC Fatherhood Conference

From humble beginnings living in the projects of Boston MA to arguably one of the greatest players and coaches in the history of North Carolina Central University, LeVelle Moton, father, son, mentor, author and philanthropist, continues to lead by example, making great strides and moves vividly reflecting his nicknamed “Poetry in Moton”. In his formative years, LeVelle began attending the Boys Club in Raleigh and credits this organization with being one of the things to save his life and keep him off the streets. There, he encountered Ron Williams, who became a father figure to him and for over 30 years, Coach Williams has been a role model serving as a mentor, advisor and friend.

As a basketball player, Levelle was always a standout. From 1992–1996 LeVelle was a standout player at North Carolina Central University in Durham, North Carolina. In 1996, he graduated from NCCU with a bachelor’s degree in recreation administration. During his NCCU playing career, his teams racked up an 80-28 record, which included three 20-win seasons. Close to 25 years after the magical run of the 1989 NCAA Division II National Championship team, and just 10 days shy of the fifth anniversary of the day of his official hiring as Head Coach, NCCU soared to its first MEAC Tournament Championship on March 15, 2014 following its 71–62 victory over Morgan State in front of a near-capacity crowd inside the Norfolk Scope Arena.  With the rings of a champion came the accolades as Moton earned MEAC Coach of the Year honors, MEAC Tournament’s Most Outstanding Coach award, and was named the BoxtoRow.com HBCU National Coach of the Year.

LeVelle is married to Bridget and they have two children Brooke and LeVelle Jr.
